Eva - 20 years old, sweet and proud like a nouvelle vague heroine - leaves a factory in Bucharest for the last time. Her contract has not been renewed and she decides the time to leave has come. Her aim is Melfi, a godforsaken town in the South of Italy, famous for its FIAT factory that divides the fields like a scar running between farming and post-industrial civilizations. Having been put up by Anna, a girl of the same age who works at FIAT, Eva starts to follow a group of women, then selects two of them, and, eventually, just one.

Eva decides to confront her prey in a dramatic face-to-face meeting, a game of cat-and-mouse in which Eva is, at the same time, both pitiless torturer and defenseless victim. Eva and Anna are close, free at last: but if Eva has completed her journey, Anna's is only just beginning...
